module nvnet not working - Page 2

elforro · 07-30-03, 06:06 AM

AAARGGHH !!

It's a real nightmare !!

I've whipped off my debian and installed a RedHat 9.0 (kernel 2.4.20) ... I compiled and installed the nvnet module: perfect, no errors, everything is detected with the "redhat-config-network" tool.

Now,
I ping my gateway: ok
I ping other computers in my network : ok
I ping www.google.fr : ok
I do "telnet www.google.fr 80" : nothing ! it hangs ! and it do the same thing with an internal webserver !!!

what's going on with these packets ???

Rem: I have WinXP on the SN41G2 who works perfectly, a debian laptop in the same network who also works perfectly, so I don't suspect my gateway, the cables, etc...

I have exactly the same problems with two Asus A7N8X-VM computers. One has RedHat 9 installed and the other Gentoo.
With the newest driverpackage on both (On The gentoo-mashine it is installed from tar.gz and on RedHat from the srpm).

nvnet loads ok, and ping to other ips work fine, but ssh, wget, samba or anything else won't work.

Please help!

yes, it's the same for me ... I feel less alone now !

I've tried various kernels (2.4.18, 2.4.20, 2.4.21) and it's always the same thing. I can select a static IP in my network or request it with DHCP, it works. But when I want to use other services (HTTP, ssh, FTP...), it doesn't work. As I said in the last post, I've also tried changing my linux debian to a linux redhat with no results.

Maybe a BIOS option to (de)activate ?

I can't get it to work at all.

Can we expect any updates to the nvnet-driver anytime soon?

Greetings!

To sum it up - same story here... Soltek SL-75FRN2-LR, nForce2, Slackware 9.0, 2.4.21 release, driver ... well, the last one available from the site. Module compiles OK, installs and loads OK, interface goes UP... And then - ICMP works, but no UDP or TCP passes through it... I can't get it.

my first attempt was to install Win2K on the
A7N8X-VM. After having installed the network driver the first dhcp request was ok, so the machine
got its IP-address, but anything else was not
working, Not even a ping was possible.

The second attempt was to install RedHat 9.
After having build the nvnet module from source,
I was able to configure the network. Ping works
and any host-lookup, but nothing else.

Well, with my configuration, the driver worked out of the box with windows XP... Check in the network connections if you have something called "network MAC bridge" or anything like that (I'm running windows in french)

MAC bridge sounds firewire related.
The Asus A7N8X-VM does not support
firewire.
On machines with firewire XP installs
per default a bridge between firewire and
ethernet.

I have no Firewire briging enabled, so that is not my problem.
It looks like we are sereral people with the same problem now...

elforro · 08-06-03, 04:43 AM

yes, the same problem but without a solution ... I've tried with various BIOS options in my motherboard but it didn't changed anything ...

hi, same story here

just bought a new computer, amd 2.5GHz + Asus A7N8X-X and can't get working the nvnet driver, also under Windows XP. I've tried all the suggestions (no ACPI, ethtool, etc) but still can't connect to my peer notebook, any idea ? should I need to buy another nic ..?

Thanks.
